[gonumber24]

i won a Kimber Custom II .45 ACP at GUN-O-RAMA III ..But i sold it to my friend Jack. In the end of the day i profited $250 which is going toward my tank.

John, you scored, and so did Jack!

Sanded most of the stand and canopy down with 60 grit.. need to go 150 then probably 220 .
also did 2 coats of kilz inside the tank and canopy. probably going to do a third

You just going to use the one piece or work some live rock in there?

 

[johnwin84]

im not adding any rock from my current tank. im really only looking for tonga branch. but im lucky my friend art has a 55 gallon drum full of it.

 

[johnwin84]

some other options i had..place on one side

 

[RuffReef]

I love that rock, it gives tanks a more natural look.

 

[johnwin84]

well see. once i expoxy the coral's to the rock it not going to look as nice any more.. or maybe ill just predrill holes for the coral.

Be very careful when drilling, use a fresh sharp bit.

I would use a masonry bit not a regular one

 

[johnwin84]

It's not hard, very brittle. Drill a small hole then slowly go larger, do not drill the hole in one shot.

Sure you could but you'll snap all the pieces off

Thats why a masonry bit would be the best
